In my latest OpEd for the @FT, I write about the "other 96 per cent" — it’s not enough to focus on grant-making alone, charitable foundations should generate impact using all of their assets. The effect would be transformational 🌍🌎🌏 What do you think?

Great piece from @sarahgor in the @FT on how blended finance can help Britain catch up on #climate (and other policy areas too, from #earlyyears to #health) — there are tried and tested pathways for the UK to follow, and a huge opportunity to seize
